By treating a deeper layer of the skin, IPL stimulates collagen growth and helps improve the skin's texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Owing to this property, IPL is used to treat different skin problems in a variety of skin types. This system was initially employed to treat vascular lesions. Using various optical filters, it was also shown to be effective in skin rejuvenation and reduction of wrinkles and unwanted pigmentation.
In the process of heating up your skin, IPL encourages the production of more collagen. It stimulates the natural process by which your body repairs all kinds of damage. Once produced, the collagen goes to work on improving the effects of sun damage and the other factors that make your skin look more age.
IPL Skin Tightening is most effective on noticeably sagging areas of the face including the jawline, neck and chin. It is safe for all skin types and can be used on virtually any part of the body that needs tightening including; arms, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.
The first way has already been explained: IPL therapy destroys undesirable collagen structures. This allows the body to initiate the healing process, which in turn allows it to stimulate collagen production.
The darkened area typically begins to fade in 7 to 14 days. This is when you'll also begin to notice that many superficial brown spots around the treated area are becoming lighter, and less noticeable. They won't vanish with one IPL treatment, but in almost all cases patients will see progress.
What Is IPL Treatment? Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, aka photofacial, is a way to improve the color and texture of your skin without surgery. It can undo some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure -- called photoaging. You may notice it mostly on your face, neck, hands, or chest.
IPL Photofacial is the preferred treatment to improve crepey, wrinkled skin, and improve color and texture for blotchy, sun-damaged, and discolored skin on the chest and neck. Photofacial results in a more even skin tone and texture.
IPL will stimulate collagen growth by treating a deeper layer of skin, while improving texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Since IPL treatments target the deeper layers of skin, they can be performed with other skin treatments such as microdermabrasion, facials or chemical peels.
Intense pulsed light can tackle the causes of acne and its lasting side effects, like scarring. This procedure also kills harmful bacteria and reduces redness and inflammation. Repeated IPL photofacials encourage the skin to shed and renew its outer layer, a process that gradually eliminates scar tissue.
For patients to get the best IPL results, it is generally recommended that patients receive, on average, 4 – 6 treatments scheduled four weeks apart. Why do most patients need more than one IPL session? Every IPL treatment builds upon the previous one, allowing the skin to react gradually.
How long do the results of the IPL treatments last? With proper skin care and sun protection following IPL treatments, results can last for years. Remember that skin is genetically programmed to create brown spots in response to UV radiation exposure.
IPL causes little to no pain. Regardless, we will apply numbing cream to the area being treated to provide a pleasant and pain-free experience.
The laser beam destroys the outer layer of skin (epidermis). At the same time, the laser heats the underlying skin (dermis), which stimulates collagen production over time, resulting in better skin tone and texture.
By treating a deeper layer of the skin, IPL stimulates collagen growth and helps improve the skin's texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
About IPL PhotoFacial
One to five sessions are recommended. Most commonly treated areas include the face, neck and chest; however, other popular areas include the back of the hands, arms, legs and even the back.
By treating the deeper layer of the skin, IPL stimulates collagen growth and helps improve your skin's texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
There is very little risk of damaging your skin from IPL treatments, also known as photofacials. A photofacial is a non-invasive treatment that saturates the surface of your skin with light to target problem areas and reverse both signs of damage and aging.
What to expect after IPL: Redness around the treated area for two to five days. Minor bruising that may last two weeks or less. Freckles and age spots may darken for three to seven days before starting to fade.
Moisturizing your skin is essential after IPL. Use a gentle moisturizing cream multiple times each day to keep your skin comfortable and moisturized. Skin hydration doesn't only come from the surface, either. Drink lots of water to moisturize your skin from the inside out.
No, using your Philips Lumea more often than recommended will not speed up the hair removal process. Do not treat the same area multiple times in one session as this will not improve efficacy and can cause skin irritation.
How Can IPL Help? Intense light pulses have the effect of rejuvenating the skin and are able to penetrate deep into the skin, killing bacteria and stimulating collagen production. The result is improved skin tone, reduced oil production, and an eventual reduction in the size of size pores.
Since only hairs in their growing phase are susceptible to treatment with light, it is important to do multiple treatments to achieve continuously smooth skin. For this reason, we recommend a start-up phase of 4-12 weekly treatments to achieve optimum results.
Technically, the winner of the IPL receives 10 times more of the prize money of the BBL winner, and the runners-up of the IPL receives 6 times more of the prize money of the BBL runners-up. It goes without saying that the Indian Premier League is one of the richest sports in the world.
